[marinoman]

Unless his fam is ok moving elsewhere

San Antonio has to be close to bottom of that list though. Miami,LA, afghanistan are all ahead

Blocked behind the paywall. What did they say about Anderson?

Qualifying offer is probable; looks to be $4.7M. Supposedly working on longer term agreement.

[tmtcsc]

That was gas.

In other contract news, the Spurs are also looking to re-sign forward Kyle Anderson, who can become a restricted free agent this summer. The team is expected to offer Anderson his qualifying offer, which increased to roughly $4.7 million. The Spurs will be allowed to submit the offer on June 29.

If a long-term deal isn’t reached, Anderson can seek out a contract from another team, which the Spurs can match, or sign the qualifying offer and become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
Leagues sources tell the Express-News, about seven teams could make a run at Anderson during free agency.
Anderson had his most productive season with the Spurs since being drafted in 2014. He averaged career-highs in points (7.9) rebounds (5.4) and assists (2.7) in 74 games.

I wonder if Forbes and Bertans are history?

Thanks to you and BillMc for the update.

There's a bit of a gap between Anderson's QO and cap hold that makes a long-term deal more possible. I expect to see something similar to what Crowder got, but it might make more sense for all sides to move on.

Yes, but he is a good 7th or 8th man in a rotation. Slow as he is, he is the player of the future, a multi-skilled wing player. He could crack a top 5 rotation if he could ever consistently shoot.

[cd98]

I wonder if Forbes and Bertans are history?

They are low priority. But outside of Patty Mills and maybe Kawhi assuming he re-signs, who will be able to shoot threes?

[Mugen]

I wonder if Forbes and Bertans are history?

I hope Bertans stays. I want Forbes gone.

A player of the future shouldn't be a huge liability on one end of the floor come playoff time. If he wants to take a little more than his qualifying offer then fine. But other than that, i'd rather bring in a player the Warriors can't completely sag off of in a potential playoff series.

Bertans and Forbes blow and would not be missed. Anderson is ok if not too expensive.

I remember when I argued that was his price and she and others tried to sell me he was some sort of double digits per year guy.

That's his qualifying offer, we don't know his market rate, but in an ordinary market he's worth at least Danny green money

League minimum would be overpaying so of course they're overpaying that POS.

Cap raises to 100 mil and the guy makes 5mil per.

Wonder if their pursuit of James is tied to their negotiations with Leonard. I've been thinking about ways to make Kawhi's contract more manageable for a team trying to compete, and having the DPE take place starting in 2020 makes the most sense. To save everyone the trouble, that puts Leonard at a projected $199M/5 deal rather than $219M/5 deal. $20 Million isn't a ton to give up when considering the increased exposure he'd get, but the new timing would allow the Spurs to skirt the tax for years, with LMA's peak APY still occurring when Kawhi's APY is low and then dropping off when the DPE money kicks in. Kawhi signing such a contract could give the Spurs the angle they need to get James to sign a smaller extension (like $110M/3), which actually leaves them room to re-up Anderson and Bertans or use the MLE.

To be honest he needs to refund that 19 millions dollars he got paid last year to play in New York. Dude barely played in 9 games which equals to us paying him 2 million a game Geez and people about Patty contract. Lol
